So last weekend I finally decided to start my product. I still have a few things on my check list that I wanted to do before starting my product, and I will do those things over time. But I found out that we have one month left before the product has to be due, and I thought that they would exstend the deadline anyway because we started a few weeks late on the personal project last year. But then I logged into our school website and found this:
So I send an email as well to Ms. Trumic to make an appointment for a new meeting, and this is what I recieved:

Today it's the 17th of September, and the product is due the 10th. So last friday when I saw this I started panicking a bit and I wanted to start my product ASAP!! So saterday I got my equipment (the wood), but I had to go to a birthday party, so I was able to start my product on sunday. I drew all the wheels on the wood and started sawing some out. I took pictures of all my progress as I tend to forget to do that on my Technology projects. These pictures can be viewed in Appendix #?
Hi my name is Emma. I go to a MYP school, and to pass the MYP curiculum I have to do something called the Personal Project (PP). I have nearly a whole year to do this project (till February 2013), and have to record all my procces in a journal. I decided to do my journal online as a blog. I'll write down all my research and my thought process in here. My project will be to design and create a real working clock!
